	Flue
		Flue gas is gas that exits to the atmosphere via a flue, which is a pipe or channel for conveying exhaust gases from a fireplace, furnace, boiler or generator.
		Flue gas desulfurisation (FGD) is a technique used for the removal of sulfur dioxide from the exhaust gases in power stations.
		Flue gas desulfurization is technology that employs a sorbent, usually lime or limestone, to remove sulfur dioxide(SO) from the gases produced by burning fossil fuels.

	Flue Gas
		1) " Flue" -- In the context of Flue Gas
		2) " Gas" -- In the context of Flue Gas
		The word "gas" was probably made by a Flemish chemist as a re-spelling of his pronunciation of the Greek word chaos.

	Flue gas desulfurization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Before flue gas desulfurization was installed, the emissions from this power plant in New Mexico contained excessive amounts of sulfur dioxide.
		Flue gas desulfurization (FGD) is the current state-of-the art technology used for removing sulfur dioxide (SO) from the exhaust flue gases in power plants that burn coal or oil to generate the steam for the steam turbines that drive their electricity generators.
		Flue gas desulfurization scrubbers have been applied to combustion units firing coal and oil that range in size from 5 MW to 1500 MW.

	!ce: Waste
		When released in the latter two states, gas especially, the wastes are referred to as emissions.
		Many landfills also have a landfill gas extraction system installed after they are closed to extract the gas generated by the decomposing waste materials.
		Generally, even flaring the gas off is a better environmental outcome than allowing it to escape to the atmosphere, as this consumes the methane (a far more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide).

	World Nuclear Association : "Clean Coal" Technologies
		Flue gas desulfurisation reduces the output of sulfur dioxide to the atmosphere by up to 97%, the task depending on the level of sulfur in the coal and the extent of the reduction.
		Flue gases are passed through an absorber, where a solvent captures about 90% of the CO The pregnant solution is then heated to 120°C to release pure CO at the rate of about one tonne per hour for geological sequestration.
		Using the hydrogen in a gas turbine for electricity generation is efficient, so the overall system has long-term potential to achieve an efficiency of up to 60%.

	etd AT Indian Institute of Science: Aqueous Phase Oxidation Of Sulfur Dioxide In Stirred Slurry Reactors
		Flue gas desulfurisation is one of the widely practiced strategies to control SO2 emissions.
		Simple equations are obtained from the general expression for the cases of zero and high concentrations of sulfuric acid in the system, which in turn lead to direct experimental determination of the parameters, Henry's law constant and the equilibrium constant of hydrolysis of SO2 (aq).
		In all experiments a pseudo steady-state region is observed where the gas phase concentration of SO2 reaches a steady value but the concentrations of HSO3¯ and total S (VI) in the liquid phase continue to change.

	Hannah Werdmuller :: Weblog ::
		Once the temperature of flue gases has been decreased to less than 2000K, the gases can be used to vaporise water, used to drive turbines and produce electricity.
		The flue gases contain Cl and H atoms which can be removed to produce industrially useful hydrochloric acid.
		Release of CO2, the most important greenhouse gas, a major contributor being fossil fuel combustion, is minimised by cryogenic distillation and deep ocean disposal, carbonate/silicate slurry, chemical absorption (monoethylamine), and fertilising the oceans.

	ALSTOM Environmental - Seawater FGD
		Over 30 years of market-leading experience has proven the outstanding removal efficiency, low lifecycle cost, reliability and unquestionable environmental safety of ALSTOM's Seawater Flue Gas Desulfurisation.
		Seawater is alkaline by nature, and has a substantial capacity to absorb and neutralise an acidic gas like sulfur dioxide (SO). When SO is absorbed in seawater, the end product is dissolved sulfate, which is already one of the major constituents of seawater.
		The process does not require the addition of any chemicals, only seawater and air are used. Another advantage is that no solids are formed in the process, and hence there are no land disposal issues, nor scaling in the process equipment.

		Its use dates back to the nineteenth century when it was obtained as a by-product from coking plants and gas works in most areas of the industrialised world.
		By contrast, ammonia is a minor constituent of coke oven gas and it is normal to remove this to produce a gas for subsequent use.
		Thus, ammonium sulfate obtained from caprolactam or acrylonitrile manufacture is normally referred to as co-product, while that produced from coke ovens, flue gas desulfurisation, smelter tail gas and waste acid from methyl methacrylate is usually termed by-product.

		On the other hand, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 3) regards a major reduction, perhaps by 50 per cent, of greenhouse gas emissions as a necessity if we are to finally stabilise the global climate before a catastrophic warming may have taken place.
		As CO is the most important greenhouse gas contributing to the dangers of global warming we shall first discuss what may be called CO productivity as one illustrative example of a resource productivity that may be increased as a result of deliberate political and technological action.
		Although there was a strong rise in electricity prices, the production of flue gas desulphurisation systems was given a major boost, and the economy quickly learned to live with higher power costs.

	[envorum] A rain check on Asia
		Methods of flue gas desulfurisation (FGD) and flue gas denitrification were first implemented at Japanese power stations as long ago as the early 1960s and 1970s, respectively.

		China is currently undertaking a massive air pollution control programme that involves fitting FGD equipment to major industrial plants; so far more than 300 plants have been equipped with FGD scrubbers.

		A basis of available literature information there is little reason to expect that effluent from an SWFGD planned at Yanby, Saudi Arabia, will cause any damage to local coral reef formations, the nearest being about 3.5 km away.
		There may be a reason for concern regarding the effects of the elevated temperature of the outfall, but this will be due to the use as cooling water for the power station, rather than caused by the SWFGD.
